Cheesy Herb Bread Recipe

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)

2 tbsp sugar

1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)

2–3 tbsp chopped green onions, parsley, or chives

1¼ cups milk

1 large egg

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)

 Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

Mix dry ingredients:

In a large bowl, whisk together:

Flour

Baking powder

Salt

Garlic powder (if using)

Sugar

Add cheese and herbs:

Stir in shredded cheese and chopped herbs (green onions, parsley, or chives).

Mix wet ingredients:

In a separate bowl, whisk together:

Milk

Egg

Melted butter

Combine wet and dry:

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined (don’t overmix).

Pour into pan:

Spread batter evenly in the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle extra cheese on top for a cheesy crust.

Bake:

Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

Cool & serve:

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Brush with extra melted butter if desired.
